Minor Mention.

Mr. Isaac Hammond. leading far
mer in Wyoming County, N. T., says
that he can keep more sheep through
the Summer in an apple orchard than
he can in the same acreage without
the trees. The orchard and the sheep
are mutually benefited. the fallen fruit
feeding the sheep. and the latter not
only clearing the fruit of worms, but
greatly improving it by manuring the
trees.
A COW is in her prime at seven to

eighteen years old even may more than

latest styles in china mating. He has
some elegant designs. II you prefer

Scientific HoaxeS.

The great lesson which Cuvier
taught the world was that many races
of animals were entirely extinct, and
that natures chain of existence had
not one but many missing links. From
his recognition of that fact the science
of paleontology may be said to date.
But the carnivorous nature OF the mas
todon was too fascinating an absurdi-
ty to be so easily killed, and it contin-
ued to appear at intervals. AS late as
1885 we find New England medical
professor writing rs if it were an UNI
questionable fact. The giant theory
fingered still longer, and even yet can
not be considered entirely extinct
among the unlearned. The dictum
that the superstitons of one age are but
the science of preceding ages receives
ample confirmation in the history OF
this subject. Not longer ago than 1916
a mastodon skeleton was exhibited in
New Orleans as that of giant. The
Uranium was made OF a raw-hide, ian
tastic wooden teeth were fitted in the
jaws, all missing parts were restored
after the human model, and the whole
raised upon the hind legs. 1t certainly
conveyed the notion of "a hdeous, d.
abolical giant" and was no doubt re-
sponsible for many Nightmares. As a
sad commentary on the state OF the
medical profession in the southwest at
that time it may be added that the ex-
hibitor was perfectly honest in his be-
lief, and to support his belief he had a
trunk full Of physicians certificates
that these were human bones.
In 1910 OR" Koch, German charl.
atan, created a great sensation by an
nouncing the discovery Of the leviathan
of Job, which he called the Missouri
um, from the state where II was found.
1t turned out, however, to be nothing
but a mastodon preposterously mount
ed Koch had added an extra dozen
or more joints to the backbone and
ribs to the chest, turned the tusks
outward into a semicircle, and con.
verted the animal into an aquatic mon'
ster which anchored itself to trees by
means of IFS sickle shaped tusks and
then peacefully slumbered on the bo-
som of the waves. Like.the Siberians.
he found interesting combinations OF
his views in the book of job, that ret
uge Of perplexed monster-makers.
Koch took his leviathan to London,
where it was purchased by the British
museum and converted into a masto-
don by Prof. Owen. who at once recog
nized its true nature.-ProC W. b

The City Marshal and the Police.

The City Marshal was vested with
the power last night by act of the city
/, council, of appointing the police, sub
9ect to the confirmation of the city
council. The ordinance makes the
marshal responsible for the efficiency,
ETC., of the police. He can suspend,
and if the board disapprove OF the
suspension the council decides the
matter. The police board prescribes
rules and regulations for the govern
ment of the police. They have the
power to remove whether the officer
is suspended or not. Honors seem to
be pretty even between the marshall
the board and the council but it would
have been better if a little moro pow
or had been left to tie city marshal.

any other OF its advantages.
Experience with evergreens ha,
shown that there is little use in setting
out trees in cold. wet soil, where the
temperature is not warm enough to
start the roots into activity. or start
tho new foliage on the branches. Ali
that the tree can do ut this time is to
callous the newly broken roots so that
new fibrcs may put forth. This is bet
ter done in some protected place. The
rule, therefore. should be to take up
trees early, heel them in whore tn ey

and only plant in the open ground
when it becomes warm enough for roots
TO grow.
No farm product of equal value Is
more unsatisfactory to hold for rise
than butter. Its price, when newly
made, is nearly always the best 1t is
subject to greater deterioration in
quality than any other product and no
matter how carefully protected must
suffer some in comparison with that
which is freshly made. The old-fash-
Toned dairy butter made in June used
to be good for twelve-month if pack
ed in sweet crooks and covered with
salt brine to exclude any odors. There
is little such butter now. That made
by the creamery process is first class
while fresh, but lacks keeping qualities.
AS nearly all enterprisng dairymen
have creameries there is less really
good butter made from milk set in the
old-fashioned way than formerly.
AS soon as a SOW is got with pig, ii
she be of a good-feeding breed she will
begin to fatten, and it will require ex-
ira care to avoid giving much grain or
meal which will surely make her too
fat. Milk with slops from the Kitchen
is an excellent feed, and if something
more solid is required it will be found

the SOW nears the time for parturition,
roots or some other green food should
be given if possible. 1t often happens
that excessively fat sows have thin
scrawny and weakly pigs. This is
usually due to feeding too much corn,
which fattens the sow, while it furn-
-
ishes little material for building up the
young which she is carrying. These
fat sows are more likely to have fever
when they drop their young and thus
destroy them. But when this danger
is passed the SOW with young pigs can
not easily be too fat. The pigs will be
apt to unduly exhaust her unless she is
generously fed.

An INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

While the march Of State i'm
proponents goes on the question of
an Industrial School presents it
self. Nevada is sadly in need of
such an institution. When a young
lad goes wrong for the first time it
is unfair to send him for term of
years to associate with hardened
criminals who will make it point
to teach him not only the alphabet
but the literature of crime so that
when he leaves the prison he will
have made up his mind that he
will make crime life profession.
Such a proposition is one appalling
to contemplate and it is well known
that some of the hardest criminals
on the coast are inmates of the Ne
vada penitentiary. Prof. Hutch
klns of New York in his treatise Oh
reformatory institutions says:
Il regard the Reform and Indus
trial Schools as great preventa-
tive of crime. A boy sent to such
an institution receives first warn
ing that the eye of the law is watch
ing his movements. He is well
treated here although under re-
straint and when he leaves 1t he
does not go forth to the world
branded as a convict. Such an In
stitution is a saving to the State
for in a majority of cases-I do not
say all-the State is not apt to be
called upon second time to foot
the expenses of fresh crimes from
that source"
In this State many youthful
criminals have escaped scot free
because by reason of their years.
Juries have acquitted them rather
than send them where they would
mingle with the lowest criminals.
When such boy is acquitted by
jury he oftens takes it to mean thai
the law is unable to cope with one
so sharp witted as himself and
seeks fresh fields for criminal ad
venture. An Industrial School
would take that idea out of him,
for then he will be made to know
that a second conviction means
nothing less than the penitentiary
